Nan Shiran called out Jing Chi's name, so there was no need for him to continue pretending. He smiled frankly and said, "Don't worry, we'll find the evidence."
Nan Shiran's eyes softened: "Commander Ye, do you really not remember anything about our past?"
"Us?" Jing Chi smiled coldly: "Nan Shiran, you just want to talk about the time you saved me, right?"
Nan Shiran's face darkened: "So, you knew about this."
“I know even better that you orchestrated that whole thing, trying to use the gratitude you showed me when you saved me to blackmail me into being with you,” Jing Chi stated directly, revealing Nan Shiran’s true intentions.
Nan Shiran pursed her lips tightly; she hadn't expected Jing Chi to already know all this.
"Do you know why I did this?"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to know what's on your mind. Nan Shiran, if you think I can't do anything to you because I can't find any dirt on you, you're wrong. Once you've done something, don't expect to leave no evidence." Jing Chi took a step forward.
"Commander Ye, I know you have many questions in your heart. Don't you really want to know? For example, who is your biological father? Why did I poison you? And what you care about most, is your mother really Ghost Number One?"
Jing Chi stopped, turned around, and stared at Nan Shiran.
Nan Shiran smiled smugly, her lips curving into a beautiful arc.
“I know you must be curious about how I know all this, and I really want to tell you, but it’s definitely not appropriate here.” Nan Shiran took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jing Chi: “If you want to know, come to this place to find me tomorrow at noon, and I will tell you everything.”
Jing Chi glanced at the note in her hand.
Nan Shiran laughed: "What, are you afraid I'll poison you?"
"Isn't this your usual trick?"
Nan Shiran laughed arrogantly: "Don't worry, I wouldn't do something like that."
Jing Chi reached out and took the note, then turned and left.
Nan Shiran crossed her arms: "The person I, Nan Shiran, set my sights on can only be mine, and no one can take him away. Whether you are Ye Jingchi or Jing Chi, you can only be my slave for the rest of your life."
Jing Chi parked the car and walked to the gate.
Xiao Hui was watering the flowers in the yard when she saw Jing Chi and hurriedly ran out to open the door.
"Young Master."
"Is my mom home?"
"Aunt Jing is in the study."
Jing Chi strode upstairs.
The study door was ajar, as if the staff had anticipated his arrival and deliberately left it open for him.
Jing Chi pushed open the door and walked straight into the study.
Aunt Jing was looking for a book in front of the bookshelf when she heard footsteps. She didn't turn around, but just sighed.
"You've come back to interrogate me?"
"I've come back to find out the truth." Jing Chi stopped, his tone no longer so sharp.
Aunt Jing sneered repeatedly: "The truth? What truth do you want?"
"Who is my biological father?" Jing Chi had to find out.
Aunt Jing turned around upon hearing the sound, and anger slowly welled up in her cloudy eyes.
"Biological father? You don't have a biological father, you only have me as your mother, remember that!"
"Covering up the truth cannot change the facts!"
Aunt Jing angrily slammed the book in her hand onto the ground: "I already told you not to keep asking questions, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Looking at his mother, who was in a state of extreme madness, Jing Chi still spoke up: "The fact that you treat me with such madness can only mean that you don't like my biological father, otherwise you wouldn't have given me away to someone else."
Those words seemed to touch a deep wound in Aunt Jing's heart. She slammed her clenched fist on the desk and glared at him angrily: "Since you're so smart, then go and investigate yourself!"
Xiao Hui hurriedly entered the study, helped Aunt Jing sit down, and gestured to Jing Chi with her eyes that it was better not to say anything.
Jing Chi knew he wouldn't get anything out of his mother today; he just wanted to provoke her and force her to tell him something. It seemed his guess was right, but his mother was too emotional.
"Please calm down, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he left the study.
Aunt Jing held her forehead, sobbing uncontrollably: "Why does he still have to ask me this question? Haven't I been good enough to him? Although I didn't raise him, I've cared for him just as much. Knowing he was poisoned, I tested the medicine on myself to detoxify him. Haven't I done enough?"
“Madam, the young master will understand,” Xiao Hui reassured her.
After Jing Chi came out, he stood by the car for a long time before getting in and leaving.
With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Li Ying went to the Li family home to learn how to make mooncakes from her mother. She learned that Sang Zhi was pregnant, which made Li Ying very happy.
Sang Zhi was even happier; the fruit of her love with Li Ting was the fruit of their love, and that was the greatest happiness.
"Where are my brother and sister-in-law?" Li Ying didn't see them.
“Your sister-in-law is pregnant, but because your older brother is the factory manager, the baby might not be safe,” Yang Mei sighed.
Li Ying thought about the current family planning policy and understood her older brother's difficulties.
Li Pei returned alone during dinner.
"Where is my sister-in-law?" Li Ying pressed.
Li Pei sat down, looking dejected: "Your sister-in-law wants me to resign from my position as factory director and go into business."
Public officials are not allowed to have more children than allowed, but without official positions and with the Tang family's connections, having a few more children wouldn't be a problem, as it's not like they can't afford it.
However, Li Pei had worked in the factory for so many years and was reluctant to give up his position.
"Brother, talk to your wife properly and discuss it. It's really okay," Li Ying comforted him.
Yang Mei also advised, "Ya Ru wants a girl, so just go along with it."
“If I go along with her, I’ll have to quit my job, but…” Li Pei was in a dilemma.
“It’s good that the child is born. Your cousin has never had a child and has been wanting one for a long time. Why don’t we let them raise it for you?” Li Dongguo said after a moment of thought.
Li Pei frowned: "Dad, Ya Ru just wants to raise the child herself. If you give the child away to someone else, she will be even more upset."
This is indeed a very difficult problem, and the person who helped Li Ying solve it was Ye Wennian.
When he asked Li Ying to treat Lisa, he told Li Ying his thoughts.
“I recently heard that your older brother is having a hard time because of having a baby. You can ask him if he is willing to let the baby be registered under Lisa’s name, but your sister-in-law will have to raise the child.”
Li Ying thought that Lisa was a foreigner and would receive preferential treatment, so it would be natural for Ya Ru to take care of the child.
"That's great! My family was really worried about this. Thank you so much, brother."
Ye Wennian smiled slightly, "It's really too difficult for you to call me 'Big Brother'. Oh, and there's one more thing. Please tell Jing Chi for me to make sure he doesn't go back to the Jing family too often lately."
Li Ying nodded and thanked Ye Wen. She said she would go back and tell everyone that she had good news.
After much thought, this is the only solution at the moment.
When Li Ying returned home, Jing Chi had already prepared dinner, and he and Chenchen were waiting at the table.
After dinner, Chenchen went to rest because of the cold.
"Why do you always bring me to sleep? I don't want to sleep with you, I want to sleep with my mom."
Chenchen pouted and complained.
